Abstract A circular economy, effective technologies for the recycling and reuse of fiber-reinforced plastics (FRPs) are essential to keep these materials attractive use in various products against backdrop stricter environmental regulations. This paper provides an overview current state art end-of-life (EOL) fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) products. significant proportion EOL FRP thermally recyc...

Jacketing technology using fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites is being applied for seismic retrofit of reinforced concrete (RC) columns designed and constructed under older specifications. In this study, the authors develop an electromagnetic (EM) imaging technology for detecting voids and debonding between the jacket and the column, which may significantly weaken the structural performa...

This study investigates the influences of three types locally available low-cost Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRP) wraps and two concrete mix designs on axial behavior FRP confined concrete. The experimental program comprised four unconfined (control), glass Matt Strand (GFRP-MS) concrete, Rowing (GFRP-R) carbon (CFRP) specimens with a diameter 150 mm height 300 tested under compression. were pre...

Coupling beams are considered one of the most important structural elements due to their vital role in resisting lateral loads by improving overall building stiffness and reducing impact overturning. The resistance coupled shear walls (CSWs) earthquakes depends on coupling beam (CB) for enhancing ductility system energy absorption capacity. There two main types beams; diagonally reinforced conv...

The main aim of the study was to perform selection procedure in order find optimal predictors for shear strength fibre reinforced polymers (FRP) used as internal reinforcement concrete (RC) beams. performed by adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) and all available parameters are included. ANFIS model could be simplification analysis FRP-RC MATLAB software application prediction results...

The plate of a pultruded fiber-reinforced polymer or fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) profile produced via a pultrusion process is likely to undergo local buckling and cracking along the fiber direction under an external load. In this study, we constructed a pultruded glass-fiber-reinforced polymer-light wood composite (PGWC) profile to explore its mechanical performance. A rectangular cross-sect...

Conventional fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs) have a relatively linear stress–strain behavior up to the failure point. Therefore, they show brittle until Shape memory alloys, in addition having high ductility and good energy dissipation capability, are highly resistant corrosion performance against fatigue. using SMA fibers production of FRPs can be suitable solution solve problem conventional ...

This paper presents an experimental study on the tensile behavior of basalt-fiber-grid-reinforced mortar (BGRM) before and after exposure to elevated temperature 300 °C considering effect fiber grid type, short polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), high-temperature time. The results show that plates reinforced with woven textile T25 fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) G50 exhibited more pronounced strain-hardeni...

Glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) concrete reinforcement exhibits high strength, is lightweight, can decrease time of construction, and is corrosion resistant. However, research has shown that chemical reactions deteriorate the GFRP reinforcing bars over time, resulting in a reduced tensile capacity. This paper develops a time-variant probabilistic model to predict the tensile capacity of G...

Fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) is one of the best retrofitting materials for strengthening due to a number of advantages, such as excellent strength to self-weight ratio, large fatigue resistance capacity, etc. Presently, many different types of FRP models are used in analysis, thereby creating erroneous analytical results. Reinforced concrete (RC) beams with carbon and glass fibrereinforced po...
